Very muted compared to other Onyx vintages. Suffers from the same affliction as many other 2011's, but seems like they could have overcome this by adjusting the blend. Has 31% tannat, which is likely dominating. Maybe waiting a few years will help?

Good bottle. Better than typical Napa blends. Well balanced and got better as it opened up and got some air. Black Cherry, plums, and spice. Slight hints of cocoa.

Has improved with time, as we’ve started noticing with other 2011’s.

Fruit forward, has cherry, raspberry, and anise. Full body with restrained tannins, decent acidity, and medium to long finish.
